Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Historic firsts are happening on the lacrosse field as Cleveland State's program celebrates its inaugural Northeast Conference weekly honors. Junior goalkeeper Justin Dalum's defensive prowess and freshman Creed McDonald's hat-trick heroics aren't just personal achievements—they represent meaningful milestones for a developing program finding its footing in competitive collegiate play.
The city's growth extends beyond sports to its evolving waterfront, where Lost on the River is set to make a splash this May in the Flats East Bank. The new dining concept promises to bring that coveted "big city feel" to our riverside district. At the same time, change is coming to Cleveland's international relations scene with Carina Van Vliet stepping down as CEO of the Cleveland Council on World Affairs—a transition that marks the end of an era for the organization that has helped connect our city to the global community.
